Title: Ion induced chemical damage to surfaces : an investigation by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
Authors: Lee, Jonathan
Abstract: The current upsurge in the use of ion beam techniques in the
fabrication of microelectronic devices has meant a greater understanding
of the processes involved.
The physical aspects of this technique have been, and continue to
be, widely researched. However, until recently, little work had been
undertaken into the chemical aspects of sputtering.
The commonly used theories explaining preferential and chemical
sputtering are described together with an overview of the main theories
describing physical sputtering. As an extension to the theories
covering chemical aspects of sputtering, an appendix is included which
covers the commonly available references, up to the end of 1983,
which have included chemical changes associated with sputtering.
The aim of the project was to extend the range of materials which
had been examined, to measure the degree of chemical damage induced by
sputtering. As such, a range of Group I and Group IV salts were studied
and the results presented herein are discussed with reference to
possible mechanisms of dissociation.
A non-destructive surface sensitive analytical technique was
essential to this study and the method chosen was X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy, of which some of the background theory is also included.

Title: Development of physical property measurement systems and characterisation of the Heusler alloys Fe2MnSi and Fe2VSi
Authors: Dennis, Bryan
Abstract: Within this thesis details of physical property measurement systems, with
regard to their design, construction, modification, and operation are presented and
discussed. Experimental activities include sample preparation, X-ray diffraction, low
temperature calorimetry, low temperature electrical resistivity, low temperature
magnetometer, the construction of a high pressure cell for the magnetometer as well
as neutron diffraction measurements. The various experimental techniques are
presented and discussed in detail.
The system of interest in this study are Heusler alloys with the composition Fe2YSi
with Y=Mn and V.Fe2VSi has been proposed as a half metallic antiferromagnet in the
literature, while Fe2MnSi orders ferromagnetically with an additional low temperature
magnetic phase transition. Both systems have been investigated and their properties
identified.

Title: Some aspects of laser design
Authors: Wiseall, Stephen S.
Abstract: This project was concerned with the design, construction
and testing of a low powered carbon dioxide laser and a discharge
pumped XeCl excimer laser. The thesis is presented in two
separate parts; section A covers the carbon dioxide laser and
section B covers the excimer laser. The reason for this separation
is that the common overlap of design features and operation is
very small [continued]...
